QueenVirtuous

Bio

About Me

I am a woman, battered and despised. I am a woman, stubborn and not afraid to dream. I am a woman who has survived. I am a woman, fit to live. I am a woman who helps other women realize that they become queens when they discover the virtues latent within them.

Now crossing my mid-thirties, I have only begun to pursue my education. I had been prevented by poverty and gender discrimination. Illiteracy, however, has never prevented me from walking with women and sitting with them in the dumps and doing as much as I can to open their eyes to their true worth and the intent behind their uniqueness.

I intend to use my education to empower more women to take their place in the home and in world affairs, to fund dreams. Hence the birth of the dream organisation QueenVirtuous Foundation from way back when I was a young girl struggling to survive. I am now taking steps to make this organisation a reality.

And I won't give up.

My Vision

To create a world where women see their own true worth and are respected and cherished for the virtues they posses.
